Yes we are having a small problem with some server data we have not had a full report on this as it is not going on to all member just some. I have raised a full report ticket but as you know the office is colsed right now so it may take a little time to get some feed back from the office.

I will move this to Connection Problems and mark it as ONLY TOPIC

in the mean time Please Post the following info.

Forum URL:screen shot of any error you get:What part of the world you are : we will then look to see how we can help you some more.

Hello @APE,The problem seems on sub-domain hosted forums. It is a global problem on data center as it seems. The forums which hosted on domains .com .biz .net etc working fine. The ping and tracert commands cannot find the host and cannot resolve the target system name as they says.

the problem is location based. i could log in with changing the proxy with a browser add on. same thing happens with both my website and this one. but the proxy helped get me online with both. hit and miss which proxys will work too

Okay, fixed the images and added some new information; I'm having to access this forum through a fairly bad free proxy, since the same issue's blocking my access here, and I think it messed up my images somehow the first time around.

It's not on the form you have there, but I've learned something else interesting; while I'm currently experiencing the problem on all of my devices, the user from Utah mentioned in my above post is able to access Forumotion normally from her iPhone while her iPad is experiencing the error. The user from Colorado is also able to access the forum through her iPhone, but no other devices. I've tested my own iPhone, however, with no success.

My forum was down at least from about 4pm central time until ??. I went to sleep around 1 am and it was still down. I tried to get into other forumotion forums including this one the support forum and kept getting "unable to connect to the server" message.

I searched and found the following which was helpful. Today it is saying Forumotion is up and running. Not sure if we are allowed to post links like the following but I felt desperate as I searched and this was all I could find with information. Delete link if you feel I am in err for posting it. I am saving the link for anytime this situation may occur again.

Indeed as @Jucarese has said, one our pro staff, Gizmo (who is also The GodFather here), has informed us that there was extreme flooding on the server yesterday and that everything should be back to normal now. He also confirmed that servimg also experienced massive server and DNS flooding. That has also now been resolved.

All issues should be fixed now and everything should be back to normal. If anybody still experiences any issues, please let us know .

-Brandon
